Concubine Xian first said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say."

The emperor nodded and said: "Concubine Xian, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Concubine Xian said: "Your Majesty, Xu Zhaoyi has been in the palace for a long time, and you must know her temperament. According to my concubine, Xu Zhaoyi doesn't look like the kind of person who has a deep city, but my concubine and concubine Song Qing After investigation, the matter of poisoning the old concubine could not have been done without someone with a plan. Therefore, the concubine is still very puzzled, is there another secret behind Xu Zhaoyi's poisoning of the concubine? There is something hidden."

After hearing this, the emperor felt that what Concubine Xian said was reasonable, so he said, "Tell me, is there anyone who ordered you?"

Song Qingjin kept staring at her.She saw that the expression on Xu Zhaoyi's face seemed to have changed, and she looked over the queen first.Song Qingjin's heart moved, and she secretly tugged at Xiao Yixuan's sleeve.

The queen turned to Xu Zhaoyi, stretched out her hand suddenly, caressed the luxurious ring on her hand, and reprimanded Xu Zhaoyi: "Xu Zhaoyi, I didn't blame you, but you are too muddled in what you did, the old concubine is kind, Even if there is some disagreement with you, it's not a big deal. How can you be confused for a moment and do such a stupid thing? Have you ever thought about your family when you do these things? "

Song Qingjin looked at Xu Zhaoyi again involuntarily.When she heard the word family, her complexion changed, and after a long time, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, no one instructs the concubine. All these things are done by the concubine alone." .If your Majesty wants to blame, just blame the concubine alone."

Concubine Xian reminded: "Xu Zhaoyi, you have to know, if you say that this matter was done by you alone, or if no one really instructed you, then it will be difficult for you to turn around in your life."

Xu Zhaoyi raised her head and replied firmly: "Your Majesty, empress, no one instructs the concubine, and all things are done by the concubine alone."

Xu Zhaoyi insisted that everything was done by her.Although Concubine Xian and Song Qingjin had been interrogating for a long time, nothing worked.In the end, this matter can only be temporarily put down.The emperor quickly decreed that Xu Zhaoyi should be abolished as a commoner, demoted to another palace, imprisoned for life, and not allowed to come out.

Xiao Yixuan begged the emperor for grace again, and took the concubine to the palace.Concubine Xian was praised and rewarded by the emperor, but she often went to her palace to rest in the next few days.Even Song Qingjin was honored, and the emperor specially appointed her as a ninth-rank female official. Although she was still the lowest female official, she was still considered a high-ranking female official.

The old concubine has already returned to the palace, and Song Qingcong still stays in the palace. After cleaning up some trivial matters and looking at the house for a few days, she will go back to the palace together. When he was poisoned and fainted, many servants in the palace were lazy and not very sad.If things go on like this, something will happen in the long run.

This morning, Song Qing concubine called all the servants in the toffee's palace over, counted their names, and said, "The old concubine was ill a few days ago, so everyone has worked hard. In the past, because I was a toffee There are many things I can’t say about the people brought here from the palace. You are all registered in the palace. But now, thanks to His Majesty’s kindness, I have become a ninth-rank female official in the palace. The concubine is now out to recuperate. , The prince also gave me a decree the day before yesterday, and this palace really doesn't need so many people to serve me."

A little maid came out and said to Song Qingjin: "But girl, if you don't let us serve here, where can we go?"

Shan Cha spoke quickly, and first said: "You still have the nerve to ask the young concubine? How did you serve the old concubine when she was lying on the bed dying a while ago? It's fine if you don't come around every day, and you have to run out when you have time." Do your own thing, or you are lazy and don't do things well. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about the flowers that the old concubine planted in the yard, and the young concubine ordered them to water them several times. , or sister Qingmei went to pour the water in person yesterday, and now you dare to speak here?"

Song Qingjin quickly pressed Shan Cha's arm, and said, "Okay. I won't talk about the past. I also asked the queen and the concubine Xian for instructions. You will definitely be fine if you leave the old concubine's place." There is no work to do. You will be sent to other masters and empresses' palaces in the future, and your life may be better than now, so you don't have to worry."

She raised her eyes and looked at the people in the hall. She was a little angry at first, but when she saw what Song Qingjin said, everyone's expressions softened a little.However, Song Qingjin also knew in her heart that after this matter was done, everyone who used to serve the old concubine would complain about her.She waved her hand, and Quan An also came out from the back room, holding a plate of silver, all of which were ten taels of silver ladles.

Song Qingjin called the people who were going to leave together, and gave them ten taels of silver each, but they still reluctantly left.Song Qingjin also knew in her heart that because of this matter, she might offend some people in the palace, but she absolutely could not retreat from this matter.

After the people left, after lunch, Song Qingjin counted the number of people again. Now inside and outside the old concubine's palace, including herself, there were only ten people left.These people are all those who Song Qingjin pays close attention to at ordinary times, and they are all loyal and diligent people.Song Qingjin also gradually let go of her heart, and she can finally take a good rest in the next few days after working hard for many days.

For some reason, after the old concubine left the palace, the meal served by the dining room was still four dishes and one soup. After finishing the chores in the old concubine's hall every day and counting the wooden sticks in front of the Ruibing hall at night, Song Qing concubine Nothing more.

Many times later, when Song Qingjin recalled that time, she felt that it was probably the most relaxing moment in her life.Carefree, away from all the complicated things, and not like in the modern society, holding mobile phones and computers every day.

Waking up in the morning, Song Qingjin took camellias to the imperial garden to pick some fresh fragrant flowers and put them in a water bottle for the house.After dinner, she would sit on Qulan and read poems and books. In the afternoon, she would sit in front of the desk at the gate of the palace and practice embroidery, watching Quan An and Camellia quarreling in the yard, or studying the flowers that had just fallen. Fruit trees seem to be thinking about when they can eat fruit.

The only regret is that I don't know when the old concubine will wake up, but Song Qingjin is not too worried, she thinks the old concubine will definitely wake up soon.

But at the moment, the queen's palace is not as quiet as Song Qingjin's here.Ever since Xu Zhaoyi was thrown into the cold palace, the queen has been resting in the west pavilion, and the maids are waiting outside, and they are not allowed to enter.I thought it was the queen's old problem again, so I didn't dare to bother her.

Only the queen's personal maid, Yuling, knows that the queen has been in meditation for the past few days after returning to the palace. She took out all her jade wares and rubbed them over and over again, while Yuling carefully waited on her. , dare not even speak.

In the end, it was the queen who spoke first: "Where is Xu Zhaoyi now?"

Yuling thought for a while, and then replied: "Madam, Xu Zhaoyi has already been stripped of her hairpin and fine clothes, and has taken away the things His Majesty bestowed upon her, and her place of residence has also been locked up, so she is imprisoned there."

The queen put her hand on the lacquer table, supported her forehead with her hand, and fell into deep thought again: "Originally, this piece of truth is so seamless that no one will find out, how could it be discovered, how could Xu Zhaoyi be included in it?" ?”

Yuling said: "Just like what the empress was worried about, Concubine Xian and that concubine Song Qing got together, and I don't know what method these two people used to expose the fact that Xu Zhaoyi gave the concubine ice orchids."

The queen sighed, and said: "At the beginning, I wanted to make friends with Xu Zhaoyi because her father was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Now that Xu Zhaoyi has fallen, her father must blame me. Blame me for not taking good care of her. Maybe I will find trouble for my brother in the previous court."

Yuling replied: "Young lady said yes, but Xu Zhaoyi is not a smart person by nature, and she is very impulsive. Since she followed her, she has done a lot of wrong things, and she didn't help her deal with it every time. This time, I can only blame her for not knowing how to deal with it, why didn't she throw it away, it was all her own doing."

The queen opened her eyes and said: "But now that I think about it, when His Majesty interrogated her and asked her if she was instigated by someone, she still wanted to slander me, saying that I was the one who instigated her behind the scenes. He was so confused that he didn’t even care about his family.”

Yuling replied: "It's really good. Besides, ma'am, your elder brother is the famous General Weibei, who holds the military power. Xu Zhaoyi's father is just a civil servant, how dare he compete with us?"

The queen shook her head and said, "That's not what you said. Your Majesty trusts the Minister of the Ministry of Officials very much. If he feels that his daughter's current situation has something to do with us, that's not good."

Yuling said, "Then according to your mother's opinion, what should we do?"

The queen thought for a while, and said: "That bitch Xianfei has always been at odds with us, but she thinks she is high-minded, and she will definitely not communicate with people in the officialdom. Otherwise, let's tell the Minister of the Ministry of Officials first, and ask Xianfei to carry it on her back first." The crime of framing Xu Zhaoyi, when the time comes, we will not be able to do what we want to do."

After hearing what the queen said, Yuling immediately said: "Your Majesty is right, this servant will send someone to deliver a letter to the General."

The Queen nodded.After a long time, he turned his head to Yuling and said, "There's also that Concubine Song Qing, we still have to pay more attention to her in the future, she really shouldn't be underestimated."
